Orlando to Texas

Here is a quick glimpse into "van life". When we have to sleep in the van we usually find a Walmart parking lot. Walmart has an open policy allowing travelers and RVers to park overnight in their lots as a way to get weary travelers off the road...and of course into their stores. It is also nice to have a restroom to use as soon as you wake up in the morning.

Living the glamorous life. Breakfast in a Walmart parking lot. Our first night in the van was in Panama City Beach, Florida. After parking the van, we walked into the store to use the restroom and quickly realized that is was Spring Break. There were college kids everywhere buying cheap beer, pushing bikini clad girls around in shopping carts, and generally being obnoxious. Good times.


Panama City Beach has some weird attractions. This upside down building is WonderWorks. This is what their website had to say: "WonderWorks™ is an amazing Panama City Beach attraction where scientific principles and fun come together to provide an unrivaled educational experience."


Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

It was really windy and cold that morning due to the storms and tornados that passed through two days before.


After leaving Panama City we continued our drive through the panhandle. We stopped at this cute beach town called Seaside. We ate a great veggie lunch at one of these airstream trailers.






We ate our 2nd lunch at this little park and watched kids play football and throw around a frisbee. It was a beautiful day.


We spent that night in Biloxi, MS and then drove to New Orleans for an afternoon.


This square was really fun to walk around. There were tons of amazing artist selling their goods at a very reasonable price.



Next up: Texas, Texas, and more Texas.
